### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, Reversed Roles
  

*by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 5, 2020*

So droll.  So insightful.  So French.  Diderot is brilliant.  The story was both funny and wise.  Made me want to read more.  I loved Tristan Shandy too for the same odd ball approach to a story.  The Catch 22 of the Age, if you will.

### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Ponderous
  

*by D***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 3, 2013*

"Jacques the Fatalist and His Master," by Denis Diderot (1713-1784), is often mentioned in the (short) list of First Modern Novels. Others include" Madame Bovary" and "Don Quixote". "Bovary" I couldn't stand and "Don Quixote" remains to be read. However, "Jacques" just isn't my cup of tea. I gave up and stopped reading after 50 or 60 pages, as I just couldn't get into it.It's ponderous, obtuse and slow as molasses.  It jumps back and forth, regaling itself in its style of interruptions and side-tracks. Largely "conversational" the story's 2 main characters engage each other in an interminable conversation, often characterized by rather "smart ass" commentary by both, and interrupted by late 1700s ribald adventures.  Besides that, the philosophy and life views expressed are decidedly passé, some 130-140 years later, and - worse - kind of uninteresting. Is this one of the first novels?  I'll pass on that question.For me "Jacques" is impossible to rate, though rate it I must. It's no more than a 2 in my mind, but others may find it fascinating and a grand commentary on life in the late 1700s, as well as find reason to analyze it for its novel structure and format. I'm satisfied to delete it from my Kindle.

More entertaining, IMO, than similar philosophers, without sacrificing profundity. Equally valuable as a narrative and an allegory.
